Question

help me what does this word mean personification.

Answer 1

It means when you make an animal or thing sound as if it was a person by describing it using things that humans do for example, 'the tree swayed'. This is personification because the tree didn't actually sway, it isn't something that trees do, but it looked like it was swaying. Sorry, it sounds really somplicated but if you read this lots of times, you will get it into your head, i promise! It took me ages to work out what all those words meant.

Answer 2

Personification is a literary term which means giving an inanimate object human characteristics.

Example: the tree was crying.
